Denizens Brewing Co.

Denizens Brewing Co. made hopheads happy last July when it opened in Silver Spring. Head brewer Jeff Ramirez turns out more than a half-dozen specialty suds, including India Pale ale, extra special bitter, pilsner, red ale and porter. House brews and a curated selection of local craft beers are on tap in the bar and the upstairs dining room, where patrons also can enjoy stick-to-your-ribs fare from BBQ Bus.
